Genetic enhancement (both through plant breeding and biotechnology), biological control, habitat management, risk assessment, institutional capacity building and public awareness are among the tools in the "CGIAR research-for-development kit" to fight mycotoxins worldwide. A holistic approach should be pursued to deal with mycotoxins that includes the following elements: (i) an integrated crop management package that combines mycotoxin-resistant germplasm, biological control, habitat control and soil-amendments; (ii) low-cost mycotoxin detection technology for rapid appraisal that also should facilitate trade; (iii) a participatory process for mycotoxin assessment in commercially important crops; and (iv) a high-level panel composed of scientists, NGOs, farmers, traders, consumers, health officers and policy makers to monitor mycotoxin intervention strategies and to organize awareness campaigns date: 2008 date_type: published publisher: CAB International Publishing place_of_pub: Wallingford Oxfordshire, UK pagerange: 415-424 pages: 422 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781845930820 book_title: Mycotoxins: detection methods, management, public health and agricultural trade official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1079/9781845930820.0413 related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?hl=en&q=allintitle%3A+%22CGIAR+Research-for-Development+Program+on+Mycotoxins%22&btnG=Search&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_ylo=&as_vis=0 related_url_type: author citation: Ortiz, R and Ban, T and Bandyopadhyay, R and Banziger, M and Bergvinson, D and Hell, K and James, B and Jeffers, D and Kumar, P L and Menkir, A and Murakami, J and Nigam, S N and Upadhyaya, H D and Waliyar, F (2008) CGIAR Research-for-Development Program on Mycotoxins.
